Jensen now works!

Well, folks, I finally solved the "Jensen Problem"... you know, the
one that makes it hard to install Red Hat on a Jensen without
needing a host system...

I wrote ARC standalone versions of minlabel and copyboot, which will
let you partition your system disk and copy the kernel to it from
the floppy drive under ARC console. Then you switch to SRM console and
perform the installation. I just installed Red Hat 2.1 this way.

I'm in the middle of writing the HOWTO now, and I'll post that today
or tomorrow.

Now the big question: where can I buy an inexpensive surplus Jensen? 8-)
Seriously; I've *heard* about them being available out there, but I
haven't been able to track down anyone who actually *has* them. Any
ideas?
